Post by: arthurk on Wednesday 09 September 15 15:56 BST (UK): I agree with "Feeder at Kennels", but a lot of the occupation entries on this page (HO107/807/1 fo21 p8) appear to have been overwritten in darker ink. In this case, it looks to me as though the words have been overwritten with "N.K." - "not known". (Maybe the enumerator/clerk didn't know what a feeder did, or thought it wasn't a proper job??)

At the same address there's a man with the occupation "Huntsman", which would be consistent with there being kennels nearby.
